Nicco Montaño says she found out she was stripped of UFC title on Instagram

Nicco Montaño was being released from the hospital following a hellish experience cutting weight prior to UFC 228 when she got even more bad news.

Montaño said she was scrolling through social media and stumbled on something that affected her personally and professionally — UFC president Dana White saying that she was no longer the UFC women’s flyweight champion.

“I was running through Instagram and I saw an interview with Dana White saying the title has been stripped,” Montaño told Luke Thomas on Monday’s edition of The MMA Hour.
